# EUDI Wallet Reference Implementation
## Frequently Asked Questions

A list of freqeuntly asked questions are consolidated in order to assist you with possible queries related to the EUDI Wallet Reference Implementation. Please refer to the [Architecture Reference Framework](https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/architecture-and-reference-framework) for the corresponding technical specifications and the [EUDI Wallet Reference Implementation](https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/architecture-and-reference-framework) overview page for further information.

<Details>
<summary>What are the specifications on which the Wallet Reference Implementation is based on?</summary>
The Wallet Reference Implementation is based on the <a href="https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/architecture-and-reference-framework">Architecture Reference Framework</a>.
</Details>

<Details>
<summary>Is there a process allowing me to post my comments or contributions to the Wallet Reference Implementation?</summary>
Comments and contributions on the codebase of the Wallet Reference Implementation are welcomed through the corresponding <a href="https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/architecture-and-reference-framework">Github space</a>. Additionally, a designated mailbox <a href="[email protected]">[email protected]</a> is available where any queries related to the Wallet Reference Implementation can be addressed.
</Details>

<Details>
<summary>What are the programming languages that are being used?</summary>
For Android it will mainly be Kotlin and for the iOS it will mainly be Swift (so it is the preferred native language of each platform). Other languages will also be used in the ecosystem of the EUDIW.
</Details>

<Details>
<summary>What are the protocols supported for online – remote authentication? </summary>
The baseline for the reference implementation is the ARF. Hence, we will be supporting OID4VP using the profile of ISO23220-4 Annex B.
</Details>

<Details>
<summary>What are the protocols supported for proximity sharing? </summary>
The baseline for the reference implementation is the ARF. Hence, we will be supporting ISO/IEC 18013-5.
</Details>

<Details>
<summary>What are the protocols supported for issuing? </summary>
The baseline for the reference implementation is the ARF. Hence, we will be supporting OpenId4VCI-draft 12.
</Details>

<Details>
<summary>What are the formats that we will be using for Personal Identification Data (PID)? </summary>
According to the ARF and the corresponding PID rulebook, we will be supporting both mDoc and SD-JWT format. At the momment, mDoc (CBOR) is supported. Alternative formats such as SD-JWT VC will be incorporated in a future release end to end too.
</Details>

<Details>
<summary>What are the formats that we will be using for mDL, (Q)EAA? </summary>
According to the ARF and the corresponding PID rulebook, we will be supporting both mDoc and SD-JWT format. At the momment, mDoc (CBOR) is supported. Alternative formats such as SD-JWT VC will be incorporated in a future release end to end too.
</Details>

<Details>
<summary>What is the testing scope for the Wallet Reference Implementation? </summary>
Security and units tests have been executed; details of the corresponding tests can be found in the corresponding repositories.

# EU Digital Identity Wallet
## Proposed Digital Identity Regulation

Under the [Electronic Identification, Authentication and Trust Services (eIDAS) Regulation](https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/eidas-regulation), EU Member States may, on a voluntary basis, notify and recognise, national electronic identification schemes in their Member States. The recognition of notified electronic identification became mandatory in 2018.
Yet, there is no requirement for Member States to develop a national electronic identification and to make it interoperable with those in other Member States. This has led to discrepancies between countries.
The new proposal for a Regulation on digital identity will address shortcomings in eIDAS by improving the effectiveness of the framework and extending its benefits to the private sector.
Member States will offer citizens and businesses digital wallets that will be able to link various aspects of their national digital identities. These may be provided by public authorities or the private sector, if they are recognized by the Member States.

The EU Digital Identity Wallet will be:

* **made available to anyone who wants to use it**: Any EU citizen, resident, and business in the EU who would like to make use of the EU Digital Identity will be able to do so.
* **used widely**: EU Digital Identity Wallets will be used as a way to identify users when providing them with access to public and private digital services across the EU.
* **controlled by users**: The EU Digital Identity Wallets will enable people to choose and keep track of their identity, data and certificates which they share with third parties. Anything which is not necessary to share will not be shared.

Consumers should also be able to access services online without having to use private platforms or unnecessarily sharing personal data. They will have full control of the data they share.

## Architecture and Reference Framework

On 3 June 2021, the European Commission adopted a Recommendation calling on Member States to work towards the development of a [a common toolbox](https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/eudi-wallet-toolbox) including a technical Architecture and Reference Framework a set of common standards and technical specifications and a set of common guidelines and best practices.

The Recommendation specifies that these outcomes will serve as a basis for the implementation of the proposal for a European Digital Identity Framework, without the process of developing the Toolbox interfering with, or prejudging the legislative process.

The Recommendation foresees that the Toolbox is developed by Member States’ experts in the eIDAS Expert Group in close coordination with the Commission and, where relevant for the functioning of the European
Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet infrastructure, other concerned public and private sector parties.

The current **authoritative version** is tagged as [realease/tag in this repository](https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/architecture-and-reference-framework/releases).

## Wallet Reference Implementation

Under the Digital Europe Programme, the Commission is facilitating [work to develop, implement and scale up the European Digital Identity framework](https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/eudi-wallet-implementation). The actions aim to arrive at a set of technical references, standards, components and solutions including an application of the EU Digital Identity Wallet to be made available to Member States.
